I feel bad when a team like Columbus loses three stars who don't want to sign there, but their compensation is now they don't have Bobrovsky on the worst contract in the league.

I think it would likely only be for players signing their first UFA deals. Whether that eligibility survives through trades would be an interesting question, and add another dynamic to the trade deadline.
